  • I bet the New York Times only interviewed people who think the bridge is a bad idea. They and the rest of the US media constantly makes Russia look like a stupid childish country. Out of bridges to nowhere, I think President Obama's 1 Trillion dollar stimulus plan wins the prize for being the most rushed and unneeded wastes of tax payer money in world history.

  • The Russians are not stupid, under Putin or Medvedev a billion dollars will never be wasted for "nowhere".... the island has importance either financially or politically.

  • This is horrible journalism.

  • strategy: interview people who do not know anything about the topic

    result: lie to others

  • @dinger9542 i concur

  • @drusha1 what are "grey papers"?

  • there are always people who are against progress. building bridges solidifies infrastructure and supplies many temporary jobs. forget about taking a shitty ferry all of the time.

  • yup, there comes another feat of yankee compassion. let the russia stand stagnant and we'll come and give you a shoulder to cry on, pump out your oil and load you up with grey papers - what a great wait to co-operate

  • Wtf bridge to no where? Why would they build a bridge to no where dumb ass. They building it to a freaking island numnuts. If they building it then they need it so stfu, you just hate Russians u racist ass.

  • This guy has a really annoying voice.

  • have you been there? NOPE. I have.

    It was most certainly NOT left out. I noticed it back in 2004 when I left Vladivostok. Life was getting better back then already.

    Listen less to the stupid american newspapers and their "correspondents".
